Environmental Conflict and Social Change: Course Description
In her course, 'Environmental Conflict and Social Change,' MIT professor Christine Walley uses specific examples to explore how environmental conflicts impact society socially, economically, politically and environmentally. She provides an extensive list of readings grouped under such themes as nature in a historical context, living environments and studying the relationship humans have with the environment. These readings provide students with an understanding of the idea of nature in European thought. They explore theoretical paradigms for use in studying environmental issues and look at individual case studies of environmental conflicts taking place from East Africa to Southeast Asia to North America. This course is part of MIT's program in Science, Technology and Society and is a graduate-level course.
The OpenCourseWare includes assignment information, a bibliography and a list of recommended readings. If you are interested in this course material, visit the environment and society course web page.
